This is a republishing of Ann Wright’s Graduate Diploma paper for Multicultural Education from Mercy Teachers’ College, The Parers of Catalonia: An Australian Pioneer Family. Originally published in 1983, various spiral bound photocopies and photocopies of photocopies have been bandied around by interested family members. The use-by date of these copies is fast approaching. It is an incredibly useful document for gaining an understanding of the early Parer family and many of the facts and documents providing evidence and insight. Edited by Ben Parer the paper has been updated for the digital age with newer technology, better quality photography coupled with revamped layout and design.
